How do I find a place to live in Kampot?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"Finding a place to live in Kampot involves several steps. First, you need to decide on the type of accommodation you want. This could range from a simple room in a guesthouse, a serviced apartment, or a private house. Next, you should research online. Websites like Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda can provide a wide range of options for short-term stays. For longer-term rentals, websites like Khmer24 and IPS Cambodia can be useful. Social media can also be a great resource. There are several Facebook groups such as "Expats in Kampot" or "Kampot Noticeboard" where people often post about available rentals. Another option is to hire a local real estate agent. They can help you navigate the local market, negotiate prices, and handle paperwork. Once you've found some potential options, you should visit the places in person. This will give you a chance to check the condition of the property, the neighborhood, and proximity to amenities like shops, restaurants, and transportation. When you've decided on a place, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease, including the rent, deposit, and any other conditions. Make sure to get everything in writing. Finally, before moving in, it's a good idea to take photos of the property to document its condition. This can help avoid any disputes when you move out. Remember, finding a place to live in a foreign country can take time and patience, so it's a good idea to start your search well before you plan to move," commented one expat who made the move to Kampot, Cambodia.
